The Organizing Committee of the Jesús María Festival made the suspension of the first day official due to the severe storm in the area. The heavy rainfall recorded since the early hours of the morning in the region made it impossible to guarantee operational safety conditions. Mayor Federico Zárate emphasized that the absolute priority of the administration is to safeguard the physical integrity of the public and artists.
The traditional opening ceremony with the entrance of the school delegations was rescheduled for Friday, January 9 at the venue. The Unión de los Pueblos Parade will begin at 3:30 p.m., and the main ceremony will start promptly at 9 p.m. in the arena. Festival president Juan López confirmed that the artistic line-up will not be rescheduled except for Destino San Javier's performance.

The measure entails the cancellation of the shows by Jairo and Damián Córdoba due to the logistical impossibility of adjusting the schedules. The Martín Fierro stage suffered the consequences of the accumulated water, which makes the technical development of the show tonight unfeasible. Local authorities valued the prudence of the decision in order to protect the festival's assets and the experience of the thousands of attendees.

Ticket refunds and management
The authorities reported that Thursday's ticket will not be valid for other nights because it is a charity day. Users who paid through electronic channels must complete a digital form to request a full refund. Those who paid in cash may request a refund at ticket office 12 on the grounds until 10 p.m. today or tomorrow morning.
The event demonstrates its commercial strength with advance sales that have already exceeded 118,000 tickets for this 60th edition. The festival's efficient management generates a historic surplus that finances the school cooperatives throughout the productive region. The economic impact is estimated at 30 million dollars, showing the power of the private sector to generate genuine local employment.
The board of directors sent a formal invitation to President Javier Milei highlighting the alignment with his style of fiscal management. The local leader valued the fact that the festival's austere and transparent management model is an example of administration for the country. The organization reminds everyone that all updated official information will be published exclusively through the entity's social media.
